xray,

Since you're new to Linux, I believe the simplest way to get the centrino
working would be to start the graphical interface.  From the main menu, go to
System Configuration->Internet Configuration Wizard and select Wireless.  You
should see the Centrino listed there.  Once you see it, just configure it as
you need.  I'm pretyt sure that will modify your /etc/modprobe.conf to
autoload the driver at boot time.
